In 2002 I was introduced to Mr. Elliott at a seminar I taught in Montreal. His bright smile and inquisitive eagerness secured my attention. While I taught many hours in addition to the basic 24-hour course, Paul was among a handful of students who observed many extra hours of Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening. Mr. Elliott quickly progressed to assisting me in many of my seminars across North America, and continues to assist me in both my Basic and Advanced AIS courses. He is one of my top assistants worldwide.
Paul has unusual talents and relates to people of all ages exceptionally well. His evaluation skills are excellent and he has great sensitivity to serious problems with either the very young or the elderly; Paul also possesses the knowledge and maturity to relate and succeed with high-level athletes.
Mr. Elliott is the only qualified Canadian AIS teacher to-date and has been teaching Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening to larger audiences all over Canada for more than 5 years. Paul has also been helping me to bring a standardized approach to the Mattes Method and has been an integral part of creating a certification program for AIS.
As the founder and creator of Active Isolated Stretching: The Mattes Method, I have taught thousands of students worldwide during the past 38 years. Few have mastered Active Isolated Stretching as Paul has. I consider Paul to be a national specialist on Active Isolated Stretching.
It is without reservation that I endorse and recommend Paul John Elliott as an Active Isolated Stretching Instructor and Therapist.
Sincerely,

Paul, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help correcting my former sports injury. After 14 years of competitive sports – CFL, Olympic Games and the America’s Cup, my body has felt the true brunt of sports.
Your Active Isolated Stretching program has done wonders on my shoulder and lower back injury. The program you put me on was extremely effective and easy to follow.
I have seen many different physicians and physiotherapist over the years - your philosophy of empowering your patients with the skills to help them to achieve their own optimum health is most refreshing and easily welcomed.
I would not hesitate to refer you to any of my friends and associates, whether professional athlete or otherwise. Again, thanks for the generosity of your knowledge, time and support. I wish you continued success.
Sincerely,
Kai Bjorn
